|The focus should be (IMO) on understanding WHY it is out of control and dealing with that. It is a very allopathic mindset that compels us to deal only with the presenting symptoms.
|Ok, now I want a pickle.
Just to be clear in case this was a response to me, I don't mean that it's beneficial and should hang around. I mean that it is attempting to exact a balance and it is HELPFUL to know that things are amiss. It wouldn't be growing and raging out of control in a healthy body. I don't think we should live with candida overgrowth (which I DO believe gets into the organs because I've seen it) but I don't think the focus should be on killing the yeast. That misses the boat. The focus should be (IMO) on understanding WHY it is out of control and dealing with that. It is a very allopathic mindset that compels us to deal only with the presenting symptoms.
So then, if you figure out why it is out of control, e.g. because of previous bad diets, bc pills, antibiotics or whatever the reason, and you then change all of that, do you think that it will correct itself over time? We have been eating very well, avoiding sugar, avoiding most grains, eating boatloads of lf veggies and still dd's skin looks like cr@p. I feel great, much better eating like we do now - TF, high fat, high protein, lots of broth - although I think I am still healing. But it doesn't seem to help dd, and she still reacts to things through my milk (maybe because she refuses to eat lf veggies?). I am wondering if I am just impatient, or if I am missing "something" like blasting it with an antifungal, which I am really not sure about yet. I really believe in our bodies being amazing at healing itself, although I don't understand much of it. Am I underestimating candida?
Sorry for hijacking.
There are many reasons why it can get out of control. knowing why doesn't really help in many cases. My son's flora is out of balance due to birth antibiotics. I can't go back and change that, and knowing why he has it doesn't fix it.
|One round of antibiotics isn't enough to throw an entire system off kilter if it wasn't off to begin with.
|All I'm saying is that it's a mistake in ANYTHING to just treat the symptoms.
|I'm not needing a lecture on the behavior of yeast, all I'm saying is that it's a mistake to look only at the yeast.
|but some can eat strict SCD and take massive amounts of probiotics without much benefit. Ever wonder what the difference is?

IEERB uses Impasse Ad Hoc Panelists to conduct mediation and factfinding. Impasse Ad Hoc Description.
What is mediation and what does a mediator do?
A mediator delineates the problems involved in bargaining, seeks solutions which can reasonably be accepted by both parties, and determines common grounds for agreement. Mediators act as facilitators, assisting the parties as they attempt to move toward settlement. Techniques used by mediators are many and varied. Mediation is mandatory in the event of impasse. Mediations are 1-3 sessions, and will last up to 30 days. The cost is split by the parties.
What is binding factfinding and what does a factfinder do?
When the parties are unable by themselves, or through a mediator, to resolve a dispute, a factfinder investigates, holds a hearing, and issues a binding decision based on a party's last, best offer. Factfinding will last up to 15 days. The cost is split by the parties. A factfinder's decision is appealable to the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board.

4045 William Penn Hwy, Monroeville, PA | Directions 1514640.438643 -79.769688
Worst place to bowl – this is the worst place to go bowling at. We went there on a Saturday night, after leagues were SUPPOSED to be over and it was one thing after another. The young females working at the time did not try to improve or help our concerns in any way. They were more interested in talking on their cell phones and primping them selves than helping us out at all.
We had 10 people with us, and they only gave us 1 lane. which you can only put 8 people on a lane at a time anyways. Everytime we had an issue, it was like we were bothering the girls since all they did was chit chat on their phones,
Since there was cosmic bowling that night, they shut our one lane down in the middle of a game at 1035 to prepare for Cosmic Bowling and still said we had to pay for the game....Umm, I don't think so.
And to make matters worse, we went there with one of our contractors, so this was a business function. We have never been more embarrassed. This place made the evening look horrible for our company. I will never go or refer this bowling alley to anyone.
I really think they need to invest into better employees and maybe update their facility alot better as well. the place is run down as well.
Fun place to spend with friends in the late hours – I went with a group of friends to Cosmic Bowling and we had a great time. The manager (Corey) was very helpful and understanding with our large group. We did have some issues with our lanes breaking down.
We will return for our next party or whatever.
bowling alley-bar – what a filthy place.. very unsatisified with the service. I would recommend the bowling alleyies at 130 and 48. much nicer place
The WORST bar/bowling alley I have EVER been in my LIFE!!!!! – To start off with I waited twenty minutes at the bar before I got a drink. The bartender was very rude, and had a horrible attitude! I watched her serve an underage girl that I work with also. I think that is not responsible and not good for a business. There was a huge fight there, where I got my drink spilled on me, and the bartender would not make me a new one. She started calling people "n****r" which I thought was very wrong. I also saw something being sold across the bar, drinking behind the bar, and the bathroom and the back of the bar that didn't smell like cigerrette smoke. I will NEVER go to this bar again, and will continue to tell everyone I know about my horrible night at the Strike Zone Pub.

A lot of us in direct sales seem to have a challenge in a BNI meeting. We work from our homes, make our living selling products and recruiting people. The barrier to entry is low in many of our businesses, much lower than a traditional business where you need professional training or licensing. Because the barrier is low, there are a lot of people who enter our types of business without a business mentality. They are hobby level, buy for themselves and friends, or worse yet – get in, do two or three events and then leave a bunch of half-satisfied customers. Because of this, the credibility factor for a direct sales business can start lower in a BNI group than other people, and it is a steeper climb to develop that network and start getting those referrals.
There really are a number of things we can do as network marketers to develop our relationships and build up our BNI chapter however, and they are really quite simple.
Making your BNI Membership work for you is about building credibility, honesty, integrity and a connection with your chapter members. Be a leader and develop referrals for others, and they will come back with referrals for you.

Gasol (knees) to return to Lakers' starting lineup on Tuesday
By Ben Golliver
Lakers forward Pau Gasol will return to the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Bobcats at the Staples Center after missing the last eight games with tendinitis in his knees. Coach Mike D'Antoni informed reporters of Gasol's return on Tuesday morning and Gasol said he will play with "no restrictions" on his minutes, ESPNLA.com reports.
Gasol, 32, has found himself scrutinized and back in the middle of trade rumors after a slow start to the season. The Spanish big man is averaging a career-low 12.6 points and 8.8 rebounds while shooting a career-low 42 percent from the field. A significantly larger percentage of his shots are coming from the perimeter this season and he's yet to find the chemistry with new center Dwight Howard.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant suggested earlier this month that it was time for Gasol to find his "big boy pants," and many observers see Gasol's struggles as a key factor in the Lakers' 11-14 start. It was clear that his knees were bothersome, as he struggled to get lift on his shots around the basket and he tended to labor even more than usual getting up and down the court. Given D'Antoni's preference for an up-tempo style, the Lakers have a lot riding on Gasol being fully healthy, fit and active.
With Gasol in the lineup this season, the Lakers are 8-9, scoring 100.7 points and conceding 96.9 points on average. The Lakers were 3-5 and endured their first four-game losing streak of the season without Gasol, scoring 105 points but conceding 104.4 points on average. In Gasol's absence, D'Antoni was forced to start Antawn Jamison or Devin Ebanks, making this already thin bench even more precarious.
Lakers fans hope that Gasol's return is the beginning of a turnaround during what's been a horribly disappointing start to the season. Reports this week also indicated that starting point guard Steve Nash could return as soon as Saturday's game against theWarriors.

Django 1.1.3 release notes¶
Welcome to Django 1.1.3!
This is the third "bugfix" release in the Django 1.1 series, improving the stability and performance of the Django 1.1 codebase.
With one exception, Django 1.1.3 maintains backwards compatibility with Django 1.1.2. It also contains a number of fixes and other improvements. Django 1.1.2 is a recommended upgrade for any development or deployment currently using or targeting Django 1.1.
For full details on the new features, backwards incompatibilities, and deprecated features in the 1.1 branch, see the Django 1.1 release notes.
Backwards incompatible changes¶
Restricted filters in admin interface¶
The Django administrative interface, django.contrib.admin, supports filtering of displayed lists of objects by fields on the corresponding models, including across database-level relationships. This is implemented by passing lookup arguments in the querystring portion of the URL, and options on the ModelAdmin class allow developers to specify particular fields or relationships which will generate automatic links for filtering.
One historically-undocumented and -unofficially-supported feature has been the ability for a user with sufficient knowledge of a model's structure and the format of these lookup arguments to invent useful new filters on the fly by manipulating the querystring.
However, it has been demonstrated that this can be abused to gain access to information outside of an admin user's permissions; for example, an attacker with access to the admin and sufficient knowledge of model structure and relations could construct query strings which – with repeated use of regular-expression lookups supported by the Django database API – expose sensitive information such as users' password hashes.
To remedy this, django.contrib.admin will now validate that querystring lookup arguments either specify only fields on the model being viewed, or cross relations which have been explicitly whitelisted by the application developer using the pre-existing mechanism mentioned above. This is backwards-incompatible for any users relying on the prior ability to insert arbitrary lookups.
Having trouble? We'd like to help!
- Try the FAQ — it's got answers to many common questions.
- Search for information in the archives of the django-users mailing list, or post a question.
- Ask a question in the #django IRC channel, or search the IRC logs to see if it has been asked before.

Refine By Make and Model:
2006 Ford F-150 - Project Fast-150
With our recent addition of a JD Fabrication long-travel front suspension, it was time to address the rear axle and suspension.
Diesel Tow Rig Maintenance & Upgrades
You could call it a downside, but the fact is the bigger our toys get, the larger the tow rigs have to be, and tow rigs can get very expensive.
2013 Ford F-250 - Ultimate Super Dirty: Part 7
Our '13 Ford F-250 Super Dirty is a big bad truck that led our rampaging renegades and off-road wildcats on a weeklong adventure this past summer.
JD Fabrication Long-Travel Front Suspension Kit
We were looking to add a long-travel front suspension and immediately turned our attention to the guys at JD Fabrication in Escondido, California.
2013 Ford F-250 - Project Super Dirty: Part 6
This month we show you our transfer case program for the truck from Offroad Design, how we stuffed dual Warn winches onboard, and the burly bumpers from TrailReady.
2013 Ford F-250 - Project Super Dirty: Part 5
The Ultimate Adventure is in the bag, the story is written, and the truck we built to lead this event is dirtier than ever, but wait—we never finished telling you about how our new Ford F-250.
2013 Ford F-250 - Project Super Dirty: Part 4
For the Ultimate Adventure this year we have been building a Ford F-250 at Shaffer's Off Road in Alameda, California. The goal is a big tough truck to lead our group of four-wheelers.
2013 Ford F-250 - Project Super Dirty: Part 3
When last you saw our Ford F-250 project truck (Aug. '13) we had stripped it down and cut it in half and were preparing to build it back up. This month we are taking steps forward.
2013 Ford F-250 - Project Super Dirty: Part 2
The Ford F-250 we're building for Ultimate Adventure 2013 is coming along nicely. And by "coming along nicely" we mean we tore it all apart and cut it in half.

Guillaume Dupuytren
Baron Guillaume Dupuytren (5 October 1777 – 8 February 1835) was a French anatomist and military surgeon. Although he gained much esteem for treating Napoleon Bonaparte's hemorrhoids, he is best known today for Dupuytren's contracture which is named after him and which he described in 1831.
Birth and education[edit]
Guillaume Dupuytren was born in the town of Pierre-Buffière in the present-day department of Haute-Vienne.
He studied medicine in Paris at the newly established École de Médecine and was appointed, by competition, prosector when only eighteen years of age. His early studies were directed chiefly to anatomical pathology. In 1803 he was appointed assistant surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu and in 1811 he became professor of operative surgery in succession to Raphael Bienvenu Sabatier. In 1816 he was appointed to the chair of clinical surgery and became head surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu. He held this post until his death.
He visited the Hôtel-Dieu morning and evening, performing at each time several operations, lectured to vast throngs of students, gave advice to his outpatients, and fulfilled the duties consequent upon one of the largest practices of modern times. By his indefatigable activity he amassed a fortune, the bulk of which he bequeathed to his daughter, with the deduction of considerable sums for the endowment of the anatomical chair in the École de Médecine, and the establishment of a benevolent institution for distressed physicians. The most important of Dupuytren's writings is his Treatise on Artificial Anus, in which he applied the principles laid down by John Hunter. In his operations he was remarkable for his skill and dexterity, and for his great readiness of resource.
Dupuytren was one of the first surgeons to successfully drain a brain abscess using trepanation, in which a hole is cut in the skull, and he also used the method to treat seizures.[1] He claimed credit for originally describing melanoma and claimed Laennec stole the idea from his lectures. [2]
He died in Paris, and there with his bequest established the Musée Dupuytren.
In fiction[edit]
The surgeon Desplein, in Balzac's short story "The Atheist's Mass," is based on Dupuytren.
Dupuytren's success at draining a cerebral abscess is referred to in Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary: "not Dupuytren, about to open up an abscess through a thick encephalic layer" (Part Two, Chapter 11).
Dupuytren is mentioned as a youthful acquaintance of Stephen Maturin in The Surgeon's Mate by Patrick O'Brian. Walking past his former student lodgings, Maturin comments, "Dupruyten lived just below... we used to share our corpses."
Reference is made in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables: "Dupuytren and Recamier entered into a quarrel in the amphitheatre of the School of Medicine, and threatened each other with their fists on the subject of the divinity of Jesus Christ."[3]

Two internationally prominent speakers will speak to the importance of peace on a global scale at a Rotary luncheon in Nashville March 7.
The "Peace Luncheon," hosted by Rotary District 6760 of Williamson County, will take place at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville.
The luncheon will feature Sakuji Tanaka, president of International Rotary and member of the Rotary Club of Yashio, Saitama, Japan; and Al Jubitz, Jr., president of the Jubitz Family Foundation from the Rotary Club of Portland, Ore.
Tanaka is former chairman of the Daika Company and former president of the National Household Papers Distribution Association of Japan. He has also served as vice president of the Yashio City Chamber of Commerce.
Dan McCormick, Franklin resident and Rotary District 6760 governor, has been working for more than a year with help from a committee and others to make the luncheon a reality.
"It is a very rare occasion to get the Rotary International President to come and speak," said McCormick.
Tanaka represents more than 34,000 Rotary clubs and 1.2 million Rotarians across the globe as international president.
"It is truly a feather in our District's cap to bring him here. It means a lot to the Rotarians to meet the national president," McCormick said. "We look forward to hearing his message of peace."
Tanaka told Rotary International News, "Peace, in all of the ways that we can understand it, is a real goal and a realistic goal for Rotary."
Tanaka, a businessman from the greater Tokyo area is giving up a year from family and business to dedicate to Rotary as the International President serving the Rotary message of "Service above Self."
Rotarian Al Jubitz, Jr. is a long-time advocate for peace and has a vision to prevent all war by the year 2030. He will present this vision at the meeting on March 7.
Jubitz is a friend of McCormick's from the trucking industry and McCormick was impressed with Jubitz's involvement with Rotary Peace Fellows.
"I had read stories and spoken to people over the years about Jubitz's sponsorship of Rotary Peace Fellowships and thought this would be the perfect complement to Tanaka's message," McCormick said.
Jubitz has pledged $300,000 to fund five fellowships for aspiring peacemakers to pursue master's degrees.
To register for the Peace Luncheon, visit the district website at www.rotary6760.org. Cost to attend is $30 and includes a buffet lunch and the program.

Yorkville Go Green Fair focuses on internal environment, too
By Valerie Burd For The Beacon-News February 26, 2013 12:40PM
Nathan Thompson of Thompson Chiropractic in Yorkville will speak at a workshop at Yorkville's upcoming Go Green Environmental Fair.
Updated: March 28, 2013 6:06AM
YORKVILLE — Nathan Thompson thinks it's important to be responsible ecologically. But he also thinks people often forget to focus on the internal environment of their bodies.
Thompson, who owns Thompson Chiropractic, 728 E. Veterans Parkway in Yorkville, will provide information on how people can avoid toxicity in their foods in one of three workshops scheduled for this year's Go Green Environmental Fair. The fair, sponsored by the Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce's Green Committee, is set for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 2 at Yorkville High School, 797 Game Farm Road.
Other presenters at the free Go Green Fair include Brandon Pettigrew from Energy Impact Illinois who will speak on "Energy Efficiency Improvements for the Home" at noon; and Jim Kleinwachter from The Conservation Foundation, who will offer information on "Rain Gardens and Rain Barrels" at 1 p.m. Thompson, who will speak at 2 p.m., is focusing on "Eliminating Toxicity."
"I'm going to talk about toxicity that is specifically in foods, some of the things that are in our meat and dairy products and some of the agricultural food," Thompson said. "I am going to talk about genetically modified organisms. Eighty-five percent of our corn, most canola oil, soybeans and cotton seed oil have been modified. I'll talk about what they actually do to our bodies and how they actually shorten life-spans."
Thompson said that most people identify him as a back doctor, but that really has nothing to do with what chiropractic is.
"Chiropractic has to do with all things that are healthy. The body is a self-healing organism," Thompson said. "It can heal itself as long as we don't interfere with it. Like the Earth. There's a parallel with what we do environmentally."
In the first workshop at the Go Green Fair, Brandon Pettigrew will provide information on rebates of up to $1,750 for people who improve the insulation and air sealing in their homes. The grant money is offered through Nicor, ComEd and the Department of Energy, and is deducted up front from the cost of the work done.
The third presentation, by Jim Kleinwachter, will offer information on the Conservation Foundation's Conservations@Home program that encourages property owners to create yards that are environmentally friendly and conserve water. Kleinwachter will discuss ways to reach these goals by planting native vegetation, creating butterfly and rain gardens, and using rain barrels.
In addition to the presentations, this year's fair will include some 40 vendor booths, where fairgoers can learn about and purchase eco-friendly products, and learn about upcoming environmental events and organizations.
For more information on the Go Green Environmental Fair, visit the Yorkville Chamber website at www.yorkvillechamber.org of call the Chamber office at 630-553-6853.

After a shootout in Waco in 1993 that killed four federal agents and six members of the Branch Davidian religious sect, authorities negotiated with cult leader David Koresh for 51 days. On the final day, 19 April 1993, a few hours after a government tank rammed the cult's wooden fortress, the siege ended in a fiery blaze, killing Koresh and 80 of his followers.

I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn't make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody's will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you're more than welcomed to help out.
It's my Nobody Opinion that Nobody's Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody's Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

Mark Twain put Hannibal on the map and many of the buildings in the downtown core
have been featured in his stories. For a small town we found quite a lot to see and do in
Hannibal including:
Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum - 208 Hill St.
Originally located in Clemens' boy hood home, the museum was expanded to encompass the house next door. The Clemens house has been restored to its mid 1800 era with lots of period furniture. The museum annex in the back has photos of some of Hannibal's real life citizens who Twain's characters were modeled after as well as one of Twain's original white suit jackets. Standing proudly beside the house is the white picket fence that Tom conned the neighborhood boys into painting.
Becky Thatcher House -- 211 Hill Street
Just across the street is the home of Laura Hawkins, Clemens' childhood sweetheart who was the inspiration for Becky Thatcher. The main floor has been converted into a gift shop and tearoom, but upstairs are two restored room: Laura's bedroom and the parlor where statues of Laura and her mother are shown preparing for a local dance. Thick sheets of Plexiglas keep visitors out of the rooms but the antique furnishings make it easy to get a sense of the era.
Grant's Drug Store/Pilaster House -- Hill and Main
The house was built in the 1830s and the upstairs was where Clemens family lived for a few years until his father died in 1847. The main floor has antique pharmaceutical and health instruments on display.
Mark Twain Lighthouseatop Cardiff Hill
Built in 1935 to commemorate Twain's 100th birthday, the lighthouse was never intended to be put into operation. Situated on top of Cardiff Hill, it was originally dedicated by President Roosevelt and later by President Kennedy and again by President Clinton after extensive restoration. The lighthouse isn't open to visitors but I found this to be one of the most peaceful spots in Hannibal and the views of the town and the river were more than worth the climb.
Lover's Leap
Just outside of Hannibal is a hill top overlooking the Mississippi that provides scenic views of town and the chance to watch barges and tug boats ply the river. Legend says it got its name because of an Indian Romeo and Juliet who decided to run away together. Unfortunately they didn't get far before they were tracked down by her family on this hill top where they chose to jump to their death rather than be separated.
Sawyer's Creek -- Located on Highway 79 just outside Hannibal, this fun center/shopping arcade is a good place for kids to burn off excess energy with miniature golf, bumper boats and a video arcade. Although much of the park was closed for the season we fed the giant koi in the fish pond and browsed through the Christmas shop, wine shop and candy store.
The Caves - Cameron Cave and Mark Twain Cave are both located in the large Mark Twain Cave and Campground complex. They can only be visited on a one-hour guided tour and we got there too late in the day. Guess we'll have to do that on our next visit to Hannibal.

When Michael Burke, CMP, manager, conference & travel services, The Hanover Insurance Group, and Jennifer Squeglia, CMP, RLC Events, began designing a detailed best-practices study for senior-level meeting managers back in July 2008, many companies were facing challenges that have become all too familiar in the industry: flat budgets, big expectations, and the need to continually streamline processes and procedures. By the time the survey was followed up with a face-to-face focus group in late January, the financial crisis and recession had created even more compelling reasons to share best practices. "Nearly everyone we surveyed has a strategic voice at their company. The question is: How can they use it to find solutions in these challenging times?" says Squeglia, who conducted the survey via telephone interviews and served as facilitator at the January gathering.
The group of seven industry veterans met for a day of conversation in a room at The Hanover's Worcester, Mass., offices, set up in a comfortable living-room-style arrangement. There was not a BlackBerry in sight as they discussed the new economic realities and shared ideas on topics that ranged from recognition programs for lower-tier qualifiers to working with procurement to tracking return on investment.
The takeaways were invaluable, says Squeglia, who encourages others in the industry to consider similar gatherings of no more than 10 people. "An intimate group allows everyone time to speak, and you can accomplish a lot in six hours." The upshot? "While we may have some different processes and procedures in place, what really stood out was what we have in common," she says. "Our conversation affirmed our best practices, and the importance of communicating them to corporate leadership.

Bullying has always been a touchy subject and of course we've heard anthems from Kelly Rowland, K'Naan, and Nelly Furtado addressing this issue. Now Canadian songstress Alyssa Reid, is setting aside her club hit sound to tackle the issue. In Talk Me Down, she sings to perhaps an ex or maybe her haters, and tells them that they can't touch her. They can't talk her down to where they are because she's already above it all.
The video tells the story of a guy who keeps on getting pushed around by an omniscient bully, whether it be through hate messages in texts or online bullying. The guy is pulled downwards by this negative force until he gets pulled back up by the hands of his peers. The video also shows real quotations from kids who feel bullied or repressed making this a very relatable video.
We end with the message that "If you're not a part of the solution, you're part of the problem". This is a resounding plea from Reid to stand up, help your peers, and bring them up when they're down.
Watch Alyssa sing to all the haters in the exclusive video below!
Check out the gallery below!

502 Horton Plaza, San Diego, CA | Directions 9210132.713668 -117.162424
Mon-Thurs 11:30am-9pm; Fri-Sat 11:30am-10pm; Sun 11:30am-9:30pm
Hidden Treasure – My husband, 16 yr old daughter and myself arrived in the Downtown area with the intent of watching the Air Races at San Diego Harbor. Well, we parked at Horton Plaza and realized that we were very hungry. We wandered up to the food court and wah-lah - there was Napa Valley Grille. My husband has always had a penchant for Napa Valley food and wine so we HAD to try this place. We ordered baked Brie which came with pita-like flat bread, roasted garlic and carmelized onions. Mmm, mmmm..... My daughter and I split a baked crab sandwich. It was an open faced sandwich made of the bread mentioned in another review, crab salad, a tomato with cheese on top. The sandwich is then toasted and cheese is melted to a delicious crunch. The crab sandwich came with a salad (mixed greens) with a light dressing. My husband ordered the hamburger - not your typical hamburger. Excellent quality meat and delicious fries. We don't usually order dessert, but since the food was so good, the three of us agreed that we HAD to try the Brie cheesecake. Oh boy! It was more like a mousse - so light and tasty. Wished we had ordered coffee with it, but we were off to the air races.
We sat outdoors on the roof-top patio and we could just see that planes darting around and the fly-overs by the military jets and the parachute jumpers. It was a beautiful early fall day and we couldn't ask for a better setting.
LOVE this place! – I don't normally even write reviews for restaurants however, after visiting Horton Plaza for some shopping, my husband and I "tried out" Napa Valley Grille.
We have found since moving here that very few restaurants in San Diego even have the correct concept of what guests want when dining. This place has the understanding that it is everything from a great wine list to a warm welcome when you arrive.
Every staff person was friendly and accomodating. Our server was extremely knowledgable of the menu items and wine. The cocktails were inventive and perfect. The food was amazing.
This has to be THE best kept secret in San Diego
Best kept secret: Outstanding Service and good food. – I've walked past the Napa Valley Grille on many shopping excursions in Horton Plaza. I finally decided to give it a try last week before a movie. To my surprise, the menu was much more elegant then I had anticipated, serving the FULL menu at the bar. I'm not much of a wine enthusiast, but the bartender was very knowlegable and offered "Something Different". I said, " I usually have a gin and tonic, what can you do with that?" She left the bar briefly, returning with fresh herbs to make me a Rosemary, Thyme Gimlet. It was Amazing! My date and I decided on a later showtime at the movies, in order to make time to enjoy a few more cocktails. Next time you're downtown, skip the parking headache, and pull into the garage. You'll get 4 hours free parking, a nice meal, and a great drink. I only wish I would've gone there sooner.
Local outpost of national chain aims to give area oenophiles a trip to the wine country without leaving town. – In Short
Located atop Horton Plaza, the Napa Valley Grille provides the shopping center's most sophisticated locale for fine dining. Wine lovers are well-served, thanks to an exceptionally lengthy wine list that includes eight different wine flights. Diners choose between sitting in the breezy patio or inside the massive, warm-hued dining room. The menu, a varied selection of upscale California cuisine, runs the gamut from artisan cheese plates to citrus-glazed pork chops and beef tenderloin pizettes.
Consistently Good – The food at the Napa valley Grille is consistently good. What more can you ask for a good glass of wine and a good meal. We ate here for lunch and was very happy with our meal. The ahi tuna salad was plentiful as was the chicken cobb salad. Too often you get a ton of greens and not enough ahi. Not in this case. Our server was attentive without being over bearing. He also poured a generous glass of wine. To fing this restaurant you have to go to the top floor of Horton Plaza but once you get there it's work the effort.

One problem is that the ends are quite large and if you must install them in a cramped amount of space you may find the ends bumping each other if you have adjoining windows. We have angled windows and that happened to us. Not a great result but a temporary fix for the winter. Another problem is that the mounts are too long so that the curtains do not touch the walls. Drafts can definitely come around the sides and top of the curtains. If the mounts were shorter, more air could be blocked. The sections of rod do slide together beautifully. One had a few minor scratches. If you like the bulkiness of the style and don't have to mount them right next to each other on more than one window, these are fine to get. We bought these in the long and short versions. Only one package had a defective screw which was mangled but otherwise all the hardware was in good shape.
I bought these curtain rods for a large living room. The ends are a large 2" diameter, so you would want a larger sized room for this look. I also bought the longer curtain rod for my sliding glass window and without the middle support the rod sags just slightly with the curtains. The 48" to 90" rod supports just fine and doesn't sage in the middle even with the curtains closed. The end round balls are made of plastic but you can't really tell unless you touch them. I also bought the half round curtain tie backs and love the look they give the window.
I've used these rich, dark brown color rods for 42" windows and recently purchased two of the 144" wide. They are not flimsy! The widest rod works as well with the draperies as the 42". Since the rods come with supports, there is no difficulty in holding the144" length firmly when the draperies are hanging. The price is a third what I would pay for a similar look.. I'm ordering two more of this widest size for another room.
I was nervous given some of the negative reviews, but I was extremely pleased with these rods especially for the price. They are metal, not plastic. They do expand to a larger width without sagging. I'd buy these again without hesitation.
Happy with the quality, design and color of these rods (got the brown ones). Only issue, the rod is in 3 pieces and making the curtains slide on the rod can be challenging. It's definitively not smooth. That works for me as my curtains are not intented to be opened and closed every day.
The rods look very good. I had vertical valances where I placed them and they will make my drapes pop. Of course my nephew put them in with ease.
A difference for a new renovated dining area and the rod was pretty simple to install.
Love it, love it, love it. Wish it came in chrome and polished brass, and I'd have them through the whole house!
This is a great, heavy duty (larger) curtain rod set (has all parts). Perfect for a log cabin, which is where they are going. Color is lovely dark bronze. We don't care that decorative ends are plastic...don't look like it from a distance & more lightweight. As far as ridge where rods fit together...we just put silicone tape over it & colored with marker. Great set for the price :))) !!!
These heavy looking curtain poles look so elegant in my bedroom, especially with drapes that have matching grommets. The wide poles look particularly appropriate on wide windows.

The exhibit concerns the resolution of a dispute over land ownership for the Osage tribe who once lived in Missouri, but were moved to Kansas, and then to a reservation in Oklahoma. The federal government allotted what had been tribally owned reservation land to the original 2,229 individual Osage tribeal members. This was the result of the Osage Allotment Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1906; it also gave the tribe the mineral rights to the reservation's lands.
More than 1,300 photographs are showcased in this exhibition, featuring the original allottees of the Osage Tribe. Individuals, families and friends are presented as a proud nation steeped in tradition. Presented in the Saint Louis University Museum of Art.
The exhibit is organized by the Osage Tribal Museum, established in 1938; it is the oldest tribally-owned museum in the U.S. The museum is located on the Osage Nation Reservation in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
